    Oscar Wilde
    “You will always be fond of me. I represent to you all the sins you never had the courage to commit.”

    Leigh Bardugo
    “Maybe love was superstition, a prayer we said to keep the truth of loneliness at bay. I tilted my head back.

    Leigh Bardugo, Ruin and Rising

    “This story is not for people who are good at living. In this world, there exist people who are so good at living that they do not need a "story" at all. They are the ones who think stories are, after all, just a pastime for your hobbies, that they are not necessary for life, and therefore it is a waste to spend money on such things. I did not assume such people to be my readers from the beginning. I cut them off. On the other hand, there are certainly people who need stories like oxygen still. I always hope that Bungo Stray Dogs will become the oxygen for such people. They are the "lost ones" that Dazai talked about.”
    Kafka Asagiri

    Kafka Asagiri

    Osamu Dazai
    “I have always shook with fright before human beings. Unable as I was to feel the least particle of confidence in my ability to speak and act like a human being, I kept my solitary agonies locked in my breast. I kept my melancholy and my agitation hidden, careful lest any trace should be left exposed. I feigned an innocent optimism; I gradually perfected myself in the role of the farcical eccentric.”
    Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human
